LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chief Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday that the Lahore High Court?s verdict asking Punjab government to make Model Town incident?s report public, is a step towards victory.

He was holding a press conference where he spoke after the court?s order.

He said that since three and half years no progress was made in the incident which claimed over a dozen lives and wounded many.

?But we bear no ill-will towards judiciary,? he said.

Model Town incident was the worst case of butchery, said Tahirul Qadri, adding that Shehbaz Sharif had said he would resign if held responsible.

Qadri alleged that bodies of the dead were made to disappear, and case was registered against 126 people but action was not taken against them.

On the issue of Nawaz Sharif?s ouster from the office of prime minister, Qadri said that only disqualification took place but the properties weren?t confiscated.

The PAT chief demanded that those named in the case should be placed on the Exit Control List.

"if you don't make the report public, it will be considered contempt of court," he said.

The LHC ordered the Punjab government on Thursday to make public the judicial inquiry report into the Model Town killings.

The order was read out by Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi while hearing a petition by the families of those injured in the 2014 clashes with police in Lahore to make the inquiry report public. 

The petitions have been filed by the families of victims killed in Model Town during an ?anti-encroachment? operation conducted by police against the PAT headquarters. At least 14 people were killed and 100 others injured in the police action.
